 wherein the plurality of sub-pixels comprise first sub-pixels and second sub-pixels arranged alternately with the first sub-pixels; 
 a distance between a center axis of the first sub-pixel in a first direction and a center axis of the second sub-pixel in the first direction is defined as a sub-pixel pitch; and 
 the sub-pixel pitches are sequentially increased in a direction departing from a central axis of the active display region, 
 wherein, a first side close to the second sub-pixel of the first sub-pixel, is spaced from a second side close to the first sub-pixel of the second sub-pixel, by a first predetermined distance, and the first side of the first sub-pixel and the second side of the second sub-pixel extend along a same direction,
